Home School Agreement
Home School Agreement
West Heath Primary will continuously strive to ensure that everyone in our school is treated with respect and dignity. Each person in our school will be given fair and equal opportunity to develop their full potential with positive regard to gender, ethnicity, cultural and religious background, sexuality, or disability. West Heath Primary School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff to share this commitment. Please also refer to the No Platform, Visiting Speaker Policy.
Home School Agreement
At West Heath Primary School, we are determined to create an inclusive culture of learning where all children will be challenged in their thinking to achieve to the best of their abilities. We will empower our children to become respected citizens to enable them to make valuable contributions locally, globally and to contribute to our world’s sustainable future. This can be done most effectively when all staff, parents and children understand their responsibilities and work together towards the same goals.
It is a statutory duty that we ask all parents of children, registered at our school, to read and sign a copy of our Home-School Agreement.
By sending your child to West Heath Primary School, you show that you too are committed to the educational ethos and values laid down at our school. We would therefore be grateful if you could support your child’s education by acknowledging the home school agreement on the relevant School Ping correspondence that you receive. A copy can also be found in the children’s Passport to Success for you to discuss with your child.
